1875. above Ferryman's Path, and along the fence to Hawcombe Head ; 

 over the hill pointing for Whitstones, where many thought he was 

 going to sea, and sank the hill, never to see them again. Short of 

 Whitstones turned across Shilletts, and along the head of Holmbush 

 Wood into the bottom, up the other side by Bucket Hole, and over 

 the enclosures to Whitebarrow Wood, and down the valley to Poole 

 Bridge, here in view, and killed him about 150 yards below, at 3.5. 

 A great and fast run ; the great feat — a run from Bray over the moor, 

 and a kill — done at last. About a dozen at the end, including the 

 master, who had driven by Simonsbath to the Warren, and ridden 

 down over Lucott Moor. A young deer ; B. B. T. 2, B, B. T. i. Head 

 given to Mr. Arthur Fortescue.

 looked to be rather too much of the galloping order for a second 

 deer, but nevertheless laid on in the meadow on the opposite side of 

 the river at 4.21. Down the valley and across to Greystone and 

 West Water Woods, and all down to Marsh; up through Marsh Wood 

 and over Baldneck into the valley under Loosehall Wood ; up the 

 Highercombe Valley to Mountsey Common, through the gate (which 

 was open) and over South Hill to Redcleeve, Broford Wood and 

 Plantation, and over the ridge into Halsecombe; across into Higher 

 and Lower Stockham Woods, along the bottom under Exe Cleeve 

 and down the water. Broke out short of Baronsdown Lodge into 

 Barlynch Wood, and over into the Haddon covers and down to
